Mr. Paul Quinn:

I understand exactly what the Deputy is saying. There is an early win for procurement aggregation, is how I would put it. That arises by looking at the holistic needs of the entire public sector and ensuring that, for example, the price a small school out on the Aran Islands is paying for its electricity is the same as what we can procure it for say, the Revenue Commissioners. Part of what the OGP has been able to do in enabling its savings has been to ensure things like that do happen. We look at the needs of the entire public sector, from small bodies to large ones and ensure we get those benefits from aggregation. That has to be balanced then with the reality that we cannot over-aggregate-----
